How Kachelofen Removal Happened

The Kachelofen removal was no small task.
It took 3 days in late August to accomplish it.

First we had to take his head off.
The smoke pipe was inside his head and had to be removed.
It has been salvaged for future use or sale.

Then his body was removed, block by block with a hammer and cold chisel.
His guts were full of ash and creosote and it was a very, very messy task.

Then his legs were removed. That took more than a hammer and cold chisel.

Henrik used the Jack Hammer for a day and a half to separate the cinder blocks.
Poor HK could barely feel his arms after the event.

The cinderblocks went all the way down to the basement.
